Join us in celebrating the completion of the fourth stage of the Dutch-Australian shared histories project.

To mark this significant milestone, we’re excited to welcome Ms Doris Voorbraak, the Deputy Head of Mission of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Ms Danniella McGowen, Assistant Director-General (Acting) of Access and Public Engagement, National Archives of Australia.

Over the course of the project, we've digitised more than 1,280 Dutch migration records, all of which can be viewed online.

These records unveil remarkable migration journeys and enhance our understanding of the connections between Australia and the Netherlands in the post-World War II era.

This project has been assisted by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Australia.
